I came here with my girlfriend without a reservation and they immediately provided a private open air bath (on a Friday). The bath was beautiful and the water hot, so we sat down in a room off to the side to cool off and the staff noticed we were a bit hot and gave us ice cold plum tea and cold water free of charge. Omotenashi takes on a different meaning at Yamada Bessou!

A villa built in 1930 is now being used as an inn. Therefore, it is a great place to experience the taste of Japanese architecture. I also felt the history of the place where it made a creaking sound when I walked on it.There is no TV in the room. Therefore, you can shut out from various information and do not need to think about unnecessary things. You can also enjoy nature such as the sound of cicadas. The open-air bath can be reserved for 30 minutes, and the indoor bath can be used at any time. My impression of the hot springs is that they are mild for Beppu. Other than that, the employees were very kind and nice.

Although retro, the room is luxurious as both a Western-style building and a Japanese-style room.That alone was a valuable experience, but the hospitality was also great.The breakfast was delicious and the accommodation was good.According to the landlady, the villa was built by her grandfather (?), who made his fortune by starting up the electrical industry in Hokkaido before the war.Western-style room (hall) next to the entranceIndoor bath with tiles with beautiful geometric patternsVeranda where sunlight filters through the garden treesEverything is so luxurious and wonderful.By the way, since I have trouble sleeping, I rented the hall and had an evening drink.When I asked for permission, I was given a mizuwari set and kabosu slices.The hot spring water was also great. satisfaction satisfaction
